The device forming the subject matter of this application is a coat adapted to combine the features of a rain coat and a common top coat.

TheA invention aims to provide novel means for holding the inner and outer coats together, to provide novel means whereby portions ofthe inner coat mai7 he manipli lated and adjusted, and to iinproie gener-- ally, devices of that type to which the prix ent invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description pro eeeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter def-:criiii-,d and claimed, it being understood that Changes in the precise embodiment ol invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without depariing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings z-Fignre l lshows the invention in perspective, paris 'Irving broken away, the top coat being disposed onterniost; Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing; die iop or outer coat located upon the inside ol the garment; Fig. 3 is a fragmental perspective of the inner or rain coat; Fig. 4 is a transverse section showing the edge of the rain coat folded back and retained; Fie: i) is a, transverse section showing the edge of the rain coat extended; Fig. (3 is a see-tional detail showing the sleeve of the rain coat ri tracted; Fig. 7 is a fragmental sertion showing the sleeve ofthe rain coat advanced g and Fig. 8 is a perspective of the garment as the same will appear when the rain coat is oatwardly disposed.

Under the circumstances above pointed out, the cuff 6 of the inner coat i drawn upwardly as shown in Fig. (3 and is engaged by the fastener#r T which are shown in Fig. 1.

ll'hen it is desired to eniploy the garment as a rain coat. the garment is turned inside ont. Under auch circumstances, the button 23 lies upon the outside of the outer coat l :in'l ina)` 'ue znsenihled with the uppermost button hole i) to hold the outer coat.; (which has non' become the inner coat) in place adjzweiit the top. lfhe 'tree edges 15 of the inner coat 2 are disengaged troni the tongues l2 by detaehing the Vfastening elements lo and li- 't'iwnu earrh other. whereupon the tree edge of the inner coat 2 will protrude beyond the tree edge of the coat 1, as clearly shown in Fig. 5. The free edges ot the vcoat 2 ina)v then be united through the niediuin ot' the 'oi tons l() and the button holes 1].

ll'hen the coat Q is disposed inwardly, that is when the garment in u ed as an ordinary over coat7 the edges ot' the inner coat 2 are turned baci-r as shown in Fig. L1, and are engaged with the tongues` l2.

The coatsy 1 and 2 may be separated readily, by d'etarhing the 'fasteners il.

It is.to be ,bserved that the collar 20 is separated from the lapel 19 by a notch, as clearly shown ii: Fig. l of the. drawings. The Split. 18 extends circuniterentially of the garment and rearwardly from the apex of the notch, along the line of union between the collar 0 and the inner coat proper, to :torni a tree tongue at the inner end of the collar. 1When the lapel and the collar of the inner coat are folded beneath the outer coat, the free tongue is adapted to overlie the lapel and thus a bulging is prevented.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:-

1. A garment comprising an inner coat and an outer coat, the inner coat having a collar and a lapel separated by a notch, the inner coat being split upwardly and rearwardly from the apex of the notch7 and at an angle to the notch, and along the line of 'anion between the collar and the inner coat proper to form a free tongue at the end of the collar, the tongue being adapted to overlie the lapel and prevent bulging when the lapel and the collar of the inner coat are turned beneath the outer coat; and a strip detaehably secured across the Split.

9. A garment comprising an inner coat and an outer coat, the inner coat being folded upon itself to torni a longitudinally extended tongue and being prolonged be- Iyoud the tongue to form a free edge, the tree edge of the inner coat being folded upon itself to lie beneath the tongue7 the said tree edge of the inner coat and the tongue having interengaging elements, the edge of the outer coat protruding beyond the Said edge of the inner coat when thelatter is tolded and when the interengaging elements are connected, and the said edge of the inner coat protruding beyond the edge of the cuter coat when the said edge of the inner coat. unfolded and straightened out; nieans for uniting the free edges;Y of the inner coat; and means for uniting the free edges of the outer coat..

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as iny own- I have hereto atlixed my signav ture in the presence Qt two witnesses.
